I know I said my next blog entry was going to be about personal goals and such, but I feel this needs to come first. Due to yesterday's press release announcing the engagement of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, I feel compelled to blog about something that may be uncomfortable to some but really needs to be discussed - Man Crushes. I've received much grief over the subject, mainly from male friends, who I feel must not be secure their manhood.
Yes, I have a man crush on Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds? You know - Van Wilder, the guy in Just Friends, Waiting, and Smokin' Aces. What heterosexual male wouldn't like him? He's good-looking, funny, and just seems to be a really cool guy - the kind of guy where you could say, "If I were a girl, or if I was gay, I'd so be into him."
Hey, don't act like you don't know what I'm saying. It's like when you saw Brad Pitt in Fight Club, and you thought, "Dude, that's the coolest guy I've ever seen. I want to be just like him."
Yeah, you know what I mean now.
However, if right now you're saying, "Yeah, dude... I get it... like Orlando Bloom in The Lord of the Rings;" no, that's not a man crush, that means you're probably gay.
I'm not making this up. Here are some definitions for it: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Man+Crush
Even MSNBC has gotten in on it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8406828/
So basically, it's respect, admiration, and idolization of another man in a non-sexual way.
Real men have man crushes.
Men who are insecure about their manhood deny having them.
What type of man are you?
As for Ryan Reynolds being engaged to Scarlett Johansson? I'm happy for him. It makes me admire him even more for bagging a hottie like her... much better than that ugly Alanis Morissette.
"don't be hatin'"
